Surveys in Noncommutative Geometry
In June 2000, the Clay Mathematics Institute organized an Instructional Symposium on Noncommutative Geometry in conjunction with the AMS-IMS-SIAM Joint Summer Research Conference. These events were held at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts from June 18 to 29, 2000. The Instructional Symposium consisted of several series of expository lectures which were intended to introduce key topics in noncommutative geometry to mathematicians unfamiliar with the subject. Those expository lectures have been edited and are reproduced in this volume.
Floer Homology, Gauge Theory, and Low Dimensional Topology
This volume is based on lecture courses and advanced seminars given at the 2004 Clay Mathematics Institute at the Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics in Budapest, Hungary. Several of the authors have added a considerable amount of additional material to that presented at the school, and the resulting volume provides a state-of-the-art introduction to current research, covering material from Heegaard Floer homology, contact geometry, smooth four—manifold topology, and symplectic four—manifolds.
Lecture notes on Motivic Cohomology
This book provides an account of the triangulated theory of motives. Its purpose is to introduce Motivic Cohomology, develop its main properties and, finally, to relate it to other known invariants of algebraic varieties and rings such as Milnor K-theory, étale cohomology and Chow groups.
The Millennium Prize Problems
On August 8, 1900, at the second International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris, David Hilbert delivered the famous lecture in which he described twenty-three problems that were to play an influential role in future mathematical research. A century later, on May 24, 2000, at a meeting at the Collge de France, the Clay Mathematics Institute announced the creation of a US$7 million prize fund for the solution of seven important classic problems that have resisted solution. The prize fund is divided equally among the seven problems. There is no time limit for their solution.
Harmonic Analysis, The Trace Formula, And Shimura Varieties
The modern theory of automorphic forms, embodied in what has come to be known as the Langlands program, is an extraordinary unifying force in mathematics. It proposes fundamental relations that tie arithmetic information from number theory and algebraic geometry with analytic information from harmonic analysis and group representations. These "reciprocity laws", conjectured by Langlands, are still largely unproved. However, their capacity to unite large areas of mathematics insures that they will be a central area of study for years to come.The goal of this volume is to provide an entry point into this exciting and challenging field.
